Databricks

Creating a connection

To connect a Databricks table to Telmai, you'll need to gather specific information from your Databricks instance. Follow the steps below:

Capture Connection Details.

You can find the JDBC connectivity details in the Databricks workspace console:

Navigate to Compute -> Cluster -> Cluster Name -> Configuration -> Advanced Options -> JDBC/ODBC.

Capture the following details:

  • Server Hostname

  • Port

  • HTTP Path

For more information, refer to the : Databricks ODBC and JDBC Drivers

Generate a Security Token

A security token is required to connect to the cluster remotely. Create this token from the Databricks workspace console:

  • Go to the top right corner and click on your User Name -> User Settings -> Access Token -> Generate New Token.

  • Capture the token created.

For detailed instructions, see theAuthentication for Databricks tools and APIs

Create a connection in Telmai

Once you have the necessary information, navigate to the "Connections" page, click +New Connection, select databricks, and enter the following properties:

  • Host: Cluster hostname

  • Port: Cluster port

  • HTTP path: HTTP path of the cluster

  • Token: API token

Connecting an asset

Once a connection is defined, you can start using it to create assets. To create assets, you will need:

  • Schema: Schema name (i.e., database name)

  • Catalog (Optional): Unity catalog name

Alternatively, you can run a SQL query
